YES - Roundabout
Critique Oblique is also magnificent
Prolly something from-
"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
If the riff itself is the focus, then the attribution should be to Nucleus, not Soft Machine.Originally Posted by grego
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
And sort of related..
Gentle Giant - All Through The Night
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
Options:
Aqualung
Red Barchetta (hell, any number of Rush tunes)
Down Through the Night (Hawkwind)
21st Century Schizoid Man
Freeway Jam - Jeff Beck
The section that he cited isn't found in Song for the Bearded Lady, as far as I can tell.
Off the top of my head: the middle section of Anesthetize, by Porcupine Tree. Especially the ending of that section, just before it breaks into the final slow dreamy section.
Death On Two Legs- Queen
KC- Red. Or, GG, Peel The Paint
Schizoid Man or Starless

Gordon Haskell - "You've got to keep the groove in your head and play a load of bollocks instead"
I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Probably not my favorite, but from about 14:12 - 14:35.
Focus - Moving Waves
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
"Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas will probably always be my ultimate fave rock riff by a prog or prog-related band ever
"Wind Him Up" by Saga probably comes in second
"Son and Daughter" by Queen gets an honorable mention
"The Great Deceiver" by King Crimson also gets an honorable mention
21st Century Schizoid Man - KC
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Too many, but the one that came to mind now is:
Gentle Giant - Pantagruel's Nativity (Acquiring The Taste). There's a guitar riff that is as heavy, and sick as anything by Black Sabbath.
GG-I Lost My Head, Play The Game
Mike Keneally-Uglytown, Tomorrow, Scotch
Zappa-Dirty Love
Jethro Tull-Teacher
Steve Morse-On The Pipe
Hard rock, prog, or whatever. Strawbs "Down By the Sea" takes the cake. It's so good that Metallica ripped it off for their song "Welcome Home".
The closing section of Rush's Countdown always gets me grooving.
I could site 100 more riffs I love but this was the first one that came to mind.
Yeah, great pick. My favorite song from ATT. Sabbath influence is obvious here.
Don't remember the Rush's Countdown, but do remember the Manfred Mann's
Soft's Hazard Profile is based on 5 riffs, I suspect. Don't know what's Nucleus , I'm an old-schooler, and have no interest for modern bands.
Il Rovescio Della Medaglia -Contaminazione
At about 21:31, and another good one at 27:54.
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
Caravan - "C'thlu Thlu"
VdGG - "Man Erg" (at 2:54)
Matching Mole - "Nan True's Hole"
Magma - "Hortz Fur Dehn Stekehn West"
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
Nucleus was the band where Karl Jenkins, John Marshall and Allan Holdsworth all played before Soft Machine.
